Today I went to TB for the 4th Sat in a row. The 1st week it was too windy. The second week it was really foggy. Last week it was the LAANC outage. Which leads us to today. I got my LAANC auth before I left, but when I got there, I got this screen (attached). When I clicked yes, I got another screen that said I didn't have an Internet connection. The controller said I could "unlock the authorization zones manually" or something to that effect. I even tried to find an unlocked WiFi signal in the area to no avail.
Thanks...!
COUPLE QUESTIONS:
- What would I do in a situation like that? If I leave and find an Internet connection, I will be in a different location from where I got LAANC auth.
- How does my Smart Controller connect to the Internet? In what situations does the SC need an Internet connection? I've never been told I can't fly because I have no Internet connection.
- Anybody know what the unlocking auth zones manually is all about?
Thanks...!
